This restaurant is a place you cannot go past. Over the past month or so we have made this our home base for meals. The service and quality of meals at a reasonable price is beyond belief. We are always made to feel welcome and any special requests are always dealt with I am sure we can, it’s a can do attitude that beats anywhere else we have been. Thank you
